We hope you’ve recovered sufficiently from that exposure and are prepared for a video from one of the tracks, “Psychic Surgery,” on said long player. In this video, seemingly

In previous articles, I have really been trying to go more think piece, less stink piece, but maybe it’s time for this gob to break the label of being some new,green journalist; it’s time for Johnny’s first real interview!
